Strength or prowess in battle aren't the only things you need to be a member of of Marchutan's Iron Mace. We who follow Lord Marchutan serve because of our devotion to the Empyrean Lords, the Asmodians, and the desire to protect the common people. This is not a mindset that can be taught.

If you truly wish to become one of the weapons of Empyrean Lord Marchutan, Player, you must look deep within yourself. Question your desires and ambitions.

When you are ready to accept this responsibility, go and see Fachmann. He will assist you.

Player: Accept

True devotion means being willing to give up everything, to put a person or a cause before yourself.

It's not something that can be taught, because there is no one answer. The idea of "giving up everything" is different for every person.

I cannot give you the answer, because there isn't one. But I can guide you into finding your own answer, yourself.

Player: "All right...."

The burden of responsibility is a heavy one to bear. But carrying the weight will eventually, like anything, make you stronger.

In light of this, Marchutan's Iron Mace would like to help you with a piece of Daevanion gear. Since we've discussed the weight of responsibility resting on your shoulders, let's get a tad literal and craft you some fine shoulder armor.

In order to craft the Daevanion spaulders, you'll need Marchutan's Pattern of Devotion, Pernon's Dew, a Spring Agrint Leaf, and a Winter Agrint Leaf. Sound good?

If you want to know how you can get those materials, just ask.

Player: "I'll get right on that."

I already told you what you need for the Daevanion spaulders, right?

The Marchutan's Pattern of Devotion, Pernon's Dew, a Spring Agrint Leaf, and a Winter Agrint Leaf..

Do you have everything we need?

Player: "I do."

Ah, Hikait will be able to help you with the Pattern of Devotion .

Player: "On my way."

Pernon's Dew is, as the name would suggest, grows in Pernon, Beluslan, and Gelkmaros.

You'll need an Altare Glass Bottle, and you must be an expert at Essencetapping.

Player: "Ah... Right."

Well, the Solar Agrint's Leaf comes from Solar Agrints, and the Lunar Agrint's Leaf from Lunar Agrints. I would have thought that a little obvious, myself....

Both kinds of Agrints appear in the region of Pernon, but Solar Agrints--believe it or not--appear only during the day, while Lunar Agrints.... You get the idea. I hope.

Player: "Yeah, thanks..."

You brought all of the materials!

The Pattern of Devotion , the sparkling Dew of Pernon, and even the beautiful leaves of the Solar and Lunar Agrints...

Honestly, I'm impressed.

Player: "Uh, thanks."

You look determined, Player. Good. That is a quality highly valued among the Marchutan's Iron Mace, and one that must have served you well when gathering the materials.

Marchutan's Pattern of Devotion is blessed to support such qualities, as well... It strengthens what is already within you.

Now then, I'll get started on this for you.

Player: "Thanks."

(Fachmann is deftly carving the Pattern of Devotion on the spaulders.)

(A silvery light glows brilliantly along the flowing lines before slowly fading, vanishing into the material.)

Player: "Impressive."

Right, here you are!.

Take these to Agent Skuldun for the Daevanion ritual.

The divine energy that has accumulated in your body and mind throughout your life as a Daeva will become one with the Daevanion spaulders. When the ritual ends, you will have a piece of finely-crafted equipment that will last you all your life, Player.

Player: "Much appreciated."

(Skuldun closes his eyes and raises his hands.)

(With a flare of heat, glowing tendrils of light move outward from your body, reaching towards Skuldun.)

(Guided by Skuldun, the mass of energy floats over and into the Daevanion spaulders.)

May you shrug off all weariness and negativity, and walk your path with confidence!
